As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah - (Jeremiah 50:40; Deuteronomy 29:23; Amos 4:11).
No man shall abide there - i:e., of the Idumeans. The Romans had a garrison there.
